The lines added by the previous commands are mhn directives and
need to be converted to MIME directives before sending. This is
accomplished by the command C-c C-e (mh-edit-mhn), which
runs mhn on the message. The following screen shows what those
commands look like in full MIME format. You can see why mail user
agents are usually built to hide these details from the user.

This action can be undone by running C-c C-m C-u
(mh-revert-mhn-edit). It does this by reverting to a backup
file. You are prompted to confirm this action, but you can avoid the
confirmation by adding an argument (for example, C-u C-c C-m C-u).
Go to the first, previous, next, last section, table of contents.
